"Uncle Lee, this is really a joke."

I said to him sincerely.

"Young man, I said it, this is not a joke, and it is not funny at all, and it is my principle of life to be willing to gamble and lose."

Li Shusheng also said resolutely.

"Did you know that in business, gambling is all the time, and the risk is proportional to the return." Li Shusheng motioned for Chen Yan to pour wine.

Chen Yanting stood up curly, leaned over to pour wine for me, and the moment I bowed my head, I unconsciously saw her dazzling white breasts half-exposed outside her black shirt.

"You're such a wonder boy." Chen Yan smiled at me charmingly, and I was terrified to see it.

Li Shusheng raised his glass and clinked his glass with me and said, "Cheers to the unknown prophet!"

I smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm really talking nonsense about the Olympic bid, Uncle Li, don't laugh at me." ”

After drinking this cup, Li Shusheng said with a solemn expression: "I didn't make a bet this time, 10 million yuan was invested in the housing market in Guangdong, and as of yesterday, it has fallen by 20 percent. ”

I opened my mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time, I thought Li Shusheng was joking, but I didn't expect him to really gamble.

"In Guangdong and Hainan, one-third of the real estate projects this year have unfinished buildings, and I think this mess will be difficult to deal with in the short term. ------- future," Li Shusheng said.

"It's temporary." I couldn't help but say, "Real estate is the pillar industry of the local economy, and in the next few decades, it will only rise and not fall as a whole, and it is not excluded that some areas will fall, but the house is like being tied to the ticket, it is tied to the performance of the local government, and I am afraid that it will not be able to make its own decisions." So in the future, real estate will become one of the biggest profiteering industries in China, and it cannot be changed. I dare say that in more than 10 years, the price of your book city will be 10 or even 20 times that of now. ”

I said this happily, and suddenly felt very comfortable, this kind of unscrupulous discussion of the future, can make me fully vain in my "divine calculation", can make me no longer think about what heaven cannot be revealed.

It turns out how painful it is to tell the direction of history!

Li Shusheng listened calmly, and then asked, "What is the reason?" On the basis? You like to make predictions about the future, which reminds me of the famous futurist Topler, but people have theory to back it up, what about you?"

I laughed and said, "No, I have no theoretical support, no basis, only one reason, a very special reason." ”

Chen Yan asked curiously, "What special reason is that?"

I said, "It's not too special, it's just ridiculous." ”

Li Shusheng laughed and said, "This little brother is very interesting, I said before, I have never seen a young man like you." Tell me your ridiculous reasons. ”

"I'm afraid that no one will believe me if I say it, it's ridiculous." I said self-deprecatingly.

"But your predictions are all in line with the facts, let's say, things in this world, no matter how ridiculous, have their truth." Li Shusheng's face was full of calmness.

I said, "If I say I'm from the future, would you believe me?"

"What do you mean?"

"In other words, I traveled back in time from 2009 to 1990, a full 19 years. So, what is now and what is in the future for you is in the past for me. ”

After I finished speaking, I looked at Li Shusheng, but he didn't show any surprise, and his face was as usual.

Chen Yan was not surprised, but covered her mouth and snickered. It's clear she's taking me for a lunatic.

"Uncle Li, do you believe such a thing?" I asked Li Shusheng. In fact, I wonder why he's so calm.

"It's not like this happening before." "When I was in Hong Kong, I met a missionary who told me that in India, an eight-year-old girl woke up like a different person, and she knew a lot about another city thousands of miles away, and she could tell me a lot about a family in that city hundreds of years ago. These things were later proved to be true. And, the point is, the girl really never went to that city. ”

"Do you believe that?" Li Shusheng asked me rhetorically.

"I believe it, because I have experienced it myself."

"Alright, lad from the future world, I lost my bet to you, so it's time for me to cash in on my bet. In my book city, you can pick any storefront, and tomorrow if you have time, you can come to my place and pick a storefront. ”

Li Shusheng still said calmly, it seems that he does not care about my "nonsense".

I waved my hand and said, "I don't want your storefront, Uncle Li, why don't I take that storefront as a bet, let's bet again." ”

"Oh, what else to bet on?" Li Shusheng raised his eyebrows and looked at me with interest.

"Earlier, I said that the house here in Sandun will definitely increase tenfold in ten years, and I also said that I know a lot of things that will happen in the future. So, you lend me 500,000 and I make it more than five million in ten years, and then I only need the part that exceeds five million, in other words, I will give you five million in ten years. Are you willing to make that bet?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Chen Yan was already half-covering her mouth and glaring at me in surprise. "Five million?"

Li Shusheng smiled and said, "So how do you guarantee that the 500,000 won't lose anything?" 500,000 yuan, ten years of interest is not a small amount. ”

I said, "I don't have any guarantees, how much is that store worth in a year?"

Li Shusheng said that it is about 50,000 yuan a year, and the general right to use it is 30 years.

I said it wouldn't take 30 years, but 10 years would be worth 500,000, right?

Li Shusheng smiled and said: "You are very smart, 500,000 is not a problem, I can lend you ten years, I don't need any guarantee from you." However, if it weren't for your alarmism some time ago, I might have invested not 10 million, but 20 million or 30 million in real estate, so I am afraid that I can buy ten stores with a loss now. From this point of view, it is only natural that you helped me reduce my losses, and I will lend you money. That way, you can come tomorrow and borrow half a million. ”

I said thank you, I should write a note for this ten years of gambling.

Li Shusheng said, yes, but do you really have to write "return five million in ten years" on the note?

I said I'd write it, I love this kind of gambling with time. We're betting on time.

"Yes, it's time." Li Shusheng suddenly flashed a trace of sadness in his eyes.
